Sweet Potato Paratha is a delicious and healthy Indian flatbread recipe prepared with mashed sweet potato, wheat flour, and spiced with Indian spices. It is very easy to prepare and a very healthy breakfast or dinner for the kids or toddlers. Serve sweet potato chapati with curd, pickle, raita.

Today I am sharing a very easy method of preparing a sweet potato paratha recipe where I directly mixed the boiled & mashed sweet potatoes into the wheat flour along with some spices.

I like it this way because it's easy and less messy. But you can also prepare like the traditional aloo parathas by stuffing the sweet potato mixture into the dough.

Health Benefits of Sweet Potato

Sweet potatoes are a great source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They’re also high in antioxidants that protect your body from free radical damage and chronic disease -Source Healthline.

Sweet Potato Paratha Ingredients

  • Wheat flour: I used whole wheat flour for this paratha. You can also use multigrain flour.
  • Sweet Potato: I boiled sweet potatoes in an instant pot pressure cooker and then mashed it.
  • Ginger: use minced or grated ginger. It's optional.
  • Ajwain (carrom seeds): Crush the ajwain before adding it to the paratha. It gives excellent flavor.
  • Spices: cumin powder, red chili powder, turmeric, amchur powder, and garam masala powder are used. Increase or decreases the spices as per your preference.
  • Herbs: finely chopped fresh coriander leaves.
  • Ghee or oil: I always prefer adding homemade ghee for parathas, it makes parathas more soft and delicious.

How to Make Sweet Potato Paratha Recipe

Cut the sweet potato into half, and pressure cook for 3 whistles or until the sweet potato is cooked well with some salt. Peel the skin and grate or mash the sweet potato.

In a bowl, add wheat flour, boiled & grated sweet potato, coriander leaves, ajwain, ginger, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, jeera powder, amchur powder, oil, and salt. Mix well.

Add very little water and make a smooth (but not sticky) dough. Smear little oil on the dough and let it rest for at least 10-15 mins.

Make balls from the dough. I was able to get 6 balls.

Roll the parathas semi-thick/thin by dusting them with some dry flour.

Heat up a tawa/skillet on medium heat and place the paratha and let it cook.

Once you see bubbles, flip onto the other side and drizzle some ghee or oil on top. Flip again and drizzle oil or ghee on the other side until they have nice golden spots on both sides.

Tips & Variations

  • Perfectly Cooked Sweet Potatoes: Make sure sweet potatoes are cooked well else, they will be challenging to mash or grate.
  • Greens: You can add green leafy vegetables like finely chopped spinach or methi (fenugreek leaves).
  • Other Veggies: You can also add some grated carrots or beets for this paratha.
  • Sweet potato paratha with Jaggery: I have prepared this sweet potato roti without adding any jaggery (or sugar). If you like, you can add a little bit of jaggery/sugar.
  • Spices: This sweet potato chapati (thepla) is naturally sweet, so adjust the spices accordingly.

    This is too funny. I just made a sweet potato and spinach roti for my 21/2 yr old grandson! I used same ingredients, but left out ginger and amchur. Since I boiled with very little water and mashed the veggies, I didnt need to add water at all. Came out very soft and tasty!
